Alleged drunken driver crashes into Starbucks (video)

HAVERFORD — A 53-year-old township woman was charged with drunken driving after she crashed her car Wednesday morning into the Starbucks on West Chester Pike, injuring one person, according to police.

Jodi Lubar, of the 1300 block of Harrington Road, crashed her car through the front window of the coffee shop located at the intersection of West Chester Pike and Eagle Road at 10:38 a.m., according to Detective Sgt. Shant Bedrosian.

She allegedly told police she had tried to stop her car, but the breaks didn’t work. The car eventually stopped when it hit the back wall.

There were between 20 and 25 people inside of the Starbucks at the time, police said. A 66-year-old man who had been in the sitting area of the coffee shop suffered a leg injury, according to Bedrosian. He was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. His condition is unknown.

Lubar declined medical attention. She was taken to police headquarters, charged with DUI and related offenses then released.

The restaurant was closed by the township’s code inspectors. Repairs will have to be made before it can reopen, officials said.
